Is it reliable to see if a line on a pregnant woman’s belly indicates a male or female?
Determining whether the baby in the belly is a boy or a girl is a question that many expectant parents, expectant grandparents, expectant parents-in-law, etc. are very concerned about. However, is this \”one line\” credible? The following will introduce the methods of predicting the gender of the baby during pregnancy from four aspects.
1. Observe the shape of the belly:
Some people say that if a pregnant woman’s belly is particularly pointed, it means the baby is a boy; if a pregnant woman’s belly is round, it means the baby is a girl. But in fact, this view is not scientific. The shape of a pregnant woman\’s belly is mainly affected by various factors such as muscle, fat, amniotic fluid, etc., and has little to do with the gender of the baby. Therefore, expectant mothers do not need to stick to the appearance of belly shape.
2. Fetal heart rate:
There is a saying that if the fetal heart rate is above 140 beats/min during pregnancy, the baby is a girl; if it is below 140 beats/min, the baby is a boy. This statement also has no scientific basis. In fact, fetal heart rate is different in different periods and is affected by many factors, such as gestational age, amniotic fluid volume, maternal physical condition, etc. Therefore, it is unreliable to predict the gender of the baby based on fetal heart rate during pregnancy.
3. B-ultrasound examination:
Although B-ultrasound examination cannot determine the gender of the baby 100%, it is very accurate. B-ultrasound examinations are often performed during pregnancy. If the doctor is experienced, he can basically accurately determine the gender of the baby. However, expectant mothers need to note that although B-ultrasound examination is highly accurate, it also has certain errors. Therefore, when doing gender prediction during pregnancy, it is best not to look at some legends or bizarre prediction methods with a narrow vision. Instead, you should respect science and listen to the doctor\’s advice.
4. Genetic testing:
Nowadays, many expectant mothers choose genetic testing to predict the gender of their babies. Genetic testing can determine the gender of your baby by analyzing fetal DNA. The accuracy of this method is very high, but it also has certain risks. Genetic testing requires puncture of amniotic fluid or placenta, which is invasive and poses certain risks to pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, expectant mothers should be very cautious when choosing genetic testing and choose the safest method possible.
Summary:
Generally speaking, it is unreliable to see whether a pregnant woman has a straight line between her belly and a male or female. The traditional methods of looking at the shape of the belly or looking at the fetal heart rate have no scientific basis. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, genetic testing and B-ultrasound examination can accurately predict the gender of the baby. But we also need to be cautious, respect science, and not be blinded by some superstitious ideas. The bottom line is that both boys and girls are equally adorable, and expectant parents should make their health their highest priority.
